Second World-Chapter 1789 Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction
"Rarrgghh…!!!" Satan lurched back when he felt the sting in his eye.
The inflicted damage wasn't high, but Jeanny's Seven Spears Assaulting Heaven had the ability to wound. Right now, Satan had difficulty opening the eye that was stung. His other eye was staring at Jeanny.
Jeanny felt as if she was stared by death itself. she hurriedly flew away.
"I will kill you! You, bastard…!!!" Satan roared.
A humongous hand made of fire suddenly materialized in the sky. This flaming hand was heading at Jeanny to grab her. Jeanny looked at the incoming flaming hand. Judging by her flying speed, she wouldn't be able to flee the area encompassed by the flaming hand.
As she stared helplessly at the flaming hand, several ice walls appeared between her and the flaming hand. These ice walls were cast by Elementalists proficient in ice spells. John had sent many players and natives with ice affinity to deal with Satan, including Eyrene, Jack's royal agent. She was with the army, leading her sisters who used to be the members of the Council of Charites. Her spell conjured a large oval mirror between Jeanny and the flaming hand.
Despite so many ice walls blocking the giant flaming hand, they all melted even before the flaming hand touched them. Only Eyrene's ice mirror was left. The ice mirror lasted for half a second before it crumbled into icy dust.
The short delay was worth it because something fast flew past and pulled Jeanny out of the flaming hand's reach. That something was Jeanny's companion, Garuda. His flying speed was faster than a regular wing tool and he also had a skill that boosted his flight speed for a short period.
"Grraahhh…!!!" Satan roared in anger. He stomped the ground, causing eruptions of lava all around him, damaging the ground-based players and soldiers.
"You won't flee from me!!" Satan threatened. He could now open the eye that Jeanny hit. Though Jeanny successfully stabbed her spear into that eye, Satan's level was simply too high for her to cause a wound. This made Jeanny think that Satan's reaction against her was a bit too exaggerated. She didn't even cause him much damage. Did he have to be so angry?
"Face my wrath, bastard!!" Satan cast Flame Wrath. A torrent of fireballs burst out and chased after Jeanny.
The Flame Wrath cast by Satan had unusually large fireballs and their speed was also very fast. Garuda continued to pull Jeanny away to evade the fireballs. Jeanny wasn't sure if she could survive even one of the fireballs. She didn't wish to find out.
The fireballs were as if alive. They spread out and then came from different sides. Some of them even exploded mid-flight, causing shockwaves that disrupted Garuda's flight. The positions where the fireballs self-detonated were too controlled. This was because Satan was controlling the fireballs deliberately using mana manipulation. The combined shockwave assailed Garuda from multiple angles and caused his flight to slow tremendously. He was unable to move away from the remaining fireballs heading to them.
When the fireballs almost arrived, a large net made of lightning appeared and caught the fireballs. The lightning net held the fireballs for a second before the fireballs burned the nets to smithereens.
The lightning net was cast by Blackhole, one of Wilted's associates. He had a first-class special class that enhanced all his lightning spells. His special class was called Lightning Ruler. This boost allowed his lightning net to last longer than it should against Satan's spell.
While the lightning net was delaying the fireballs, a couple of hell whips cast by Warlocks shot from the ground and latched onto Jeanny and Garuda. They were then pulled away by the Warlocks, giving them sufficient space to flee the fireballs which had now resumed their chase. The fireballs couldn't last indefinitely, however. They exploded after a duration. They failed to harm their targets.
Satan's scowl was extremely ugly seeing his targets flee his attacks twice. He let out another wrathful roar. At the same time, his skin changed color. The left half of his body turned silver while the other half became dark purple.
He slammed his flaming hammer into the ground and left it there. He then spread his arms apart. A crackling dark purple orb appeared in his right hand and a misty silver orb appeared in his left.
"Oh, no! Call everyone to put as much distance from Satan as possible!" Wilted told John.
"What?" John asked.
"This is one of his signature skills I warned you before, the Soul and Chaos Chain Reaction!" Wilted yelled. She never stopped informing John about the devils, but there was too much information. John's mind was at its limit as he was operating the war table against impossible odds while absorbing new information at the same time.
John remembered what Wilted told him about this skill and immediately sent the commands for everyone to flee.
Satan saw the people who surrounded him started to retreat. He chuckled. "Too late," he said.
His two hands were brought together. The misty silver orb and the crackling dark purple orb touched one another. The two orbs repelled each other, but Satan forced them to merge. When it did, the two merged orbs collapsed into a tiny pebble, before abruptly expanding exponentially.
What came after was a giant sphere that covered an extremely large area. A sphere with one-half was silver and the other half dark purple. Its area coverage was so large that the sphere's edge almost touched the mobile fortress. John estimated the diameter of the sphere was probably more than one kilometer.
When the sphere receded, John looked in horror as the area was filled with dead bodies. No one was moving. Jeanny, Paytowin, and the others. They weren't fast enough to escape the area covered by the sphere. John didn't worry too much about them. Once the battle was over, their bodies would disintegrate and they would revive at the Resurrection Chapel inside Heavenly Citadel. The native soldiers and companions were another matter.
John looked in disbelief as he saw that even Jack's strongest royal agent, Eyrene, was lying motionless among the corpses.
